Years would be the independent variable because any sort of time is usually the independent variable.
Answer:
Radioactive waste, which can be very bad for humans and cause cancer.
Answer:
1) Diffusion is net movement of anything (e.g., atom, ions, molecules) from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
2)
Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides
3) One big difference between osmosis and diffusion is that both solvent and solute particles are free to move in diffusion, but in osmosis, only the solvent molecules (water molecules) cross the membrane.
4) Molecules tend to move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.
I'm sorry, but I don't know how to do part #2. I think it's a lab.
Answer:
The warm upper waters towards the poles from the tropic is done by surface circulation. If large amounts of cold water are added in the Polar regions as glaciers melt then the hot water cannot flow to the poles, the cold water will make the water very dense, which won’t allow warm upper waters to flow.
The effect it would have in the climate of my area is that it will increase the temperature of the local areas because of the rise in temperature of the surface ocean water.
